T10 WHATS UP! February 28 - March 6, 2021 rie Burton Morgan ("One Tree Hill"), will portray Lucille. Other storylines featured in the new bonus episodes include Maggie and Daryl battling an unseen and unknown threat, Negan's safety once again in jeopardy, and Daryl and Carol (Melissa McBride, "Dawson's Creek") coming across an old cabin that makes Daryl think of the time he left the group. Ga- briel and Aaron (Ross Mar- quand, "Avengers: Infinity War," 2018) are put to the test while on a scouting mission, while, else- where, Eugene (Josh McDer- mitt, "Last Comic Standing"), Ezekiel (Khary Payton, "Young Justice"), Yumiko (Eleanor Mat- suura, "Utopia") and Princess (Paola Lázaro, "Lethal Weap- on") are captured. Also, Daryl and Carol appear to go their separate ways. The remaining six episodes of Season 10 will surely be bitter- sweet for fans of the series who know that the next season will be the show's last. It's been an unlikely hit in the sea of typical comedies and dramas that air on prime time. The show pre- miered in 2010 to solid ratings, attracting an average of between four and six million viewers. The show's popularity grew, and in 2014 "The Walking Dead's" Season 5 premiere attracted more than 17 million viewers, making it one of the most watched cable series in history. The show's ratings have slowly declined since then, but it has earned its share of industry ac- colades, including a Golden Globe nomination for Best Tele- vision Series — Drama and a Writers Guild of America Award nomination for Best New Series. "The Walking Dead" won a Pri- metime Creative Arts Emmy Award for Outstanding Pros- thetic Makeup for a Series, Lim- ited Series, Movie or Special in 2011. Even though the beginning of the end may be near for the orig- inal "The Walking Dead," its leg- acy will live on in various spi- noffs. "Fear the Walking Dead," which looks at a totally different group of survivors earlier in the apocalypse, has been going strong since 2015. More recently, AMC premiered "The Walking Dead: World Beyond," which fo- cuses on a group of mostly younger survivors. It premiered in October and is slated for two seasons. Much to the delight of fans, favorites from the original show, Daryl and Carol, will get their very own as-yet-unnamed series, tentatively scheduled to premiere in 2023. So there is hope for TWD fans. And while the subject mat- ter is undeniably steeped in fear, many fans assert that "The Walking Dead" is ultimately about hope. Even as monsters surround them, the survivors come together to forge a future for all of humanity. Find out whether their efforts pay off in the return of "The Walking Dead," airing Sunday, Feb. 28, on AMC.
